These beautiful tree of life earrings are crafted of highly polished sterling silver and have beads of peridot to give it just the right touch of soft green. Peridot is used to enhance prosperity, growth, and openness and is the traditional birthstone of August. The tree of life is a powerful, life-affirming symbol in almost every culture. With its branches reaching towards the sky, and roots embedded deeply in the earth, it dwells in three worlds, becoming a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It represents all that is true, wholesome, stable, and noble. When you are in need of stability and strength in your life - envision the tree of life in your minds eye. Earrings measure 3/4" in diameter and have a length of 1 5/8" (from top of french wire). See our Taos Trading Storefront for a great selection of jewelry designs and styles.
